Not sure if the Shelby one is the same
An April 68 MPC shows the replacement as
C5AZ-9737-B
.58 OD 6.52" long 24 1/2 coils
Also used on electric tailgate windows of big Ford wagons. Would be nicely protected there
Same as
65 big Fords with 3x2's on 352 & 390's
67 Mustang with 390 & 289
Some V8 67 Fairlanes
And they list a few cars Ford never built
As for one from another 67 289 4V - have you checked with the Cougar guys? Lots more 289 4V's in those cars
Hope this helps your search
Thanks Jeff! A parts book is where I planned to go next since the assembly manual didn't have whole numbers provided. (and I do not have any Shelby specific information) That takes care of the spring at least.
...and no, I didn't talk to any Cougar guys yet, I have checked WCCC, and they have a listing as "sold out" on the bracket and I would assume that the spring is unavailable at this time there too. I suppose I could call them
Can anyone checked the MPC catalogs for the bracket and possibly cross-reference the number for other applications?
As far as finding an old (65-68?) Ford station wagon anywhere...not likely over here in the rust belt and even if I did, not likely it would be "well protected" like out in the West or southern states.
Still looking...FOR BOTH!
At least It sound like I can get a reproduction bracket from M.M. (if somebody can confirm the Shelby application is the same by part or engineering number anyways)
PROGRESS, even if it is only as information at this time...it still helps in the searching!
